BlackRock met with the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force on 12 May 2025 to discuss the overview of the BlackRock Digital Assets Product Suite. Representatives of the world’s largest asset manager requested a meeting with the SEC Crypto Task Force to discuss perspectives on the treatment of staking, including considerations for facilitating ETPs with staking capabilities, and to discuss considerations for advancing the tokenization of securities under the federal securities regulatory framework.

BlackRock has already launched spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which have reported significant inflows. Recently, Strategy Chairman Michael Saylor said that “BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) will be the biggest ETF in the world in ten years.”

Meanwhile, the key takeaway from the Crypto Task roundtable is that the SEC may revise rules to allow broker-dealers on alternative trading systems (ATS) to trade non-security cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether.
